Tell the guitarist his services are no longer required. If that causes the singer to leave, then so be it. I cannot tolerate someone else in the band that does not put the required amount of work in.

....and I've never tried removing the grille from my Barefaced. Do they come off easily if going for the wrap around option?

Or another reason for the rest of us to be glad that you did? I know we're in a bit of state, but comments like that bring out the patriot in me 🤷‍♂️.

@stewblack do have photos of how it fixes to the cab front. I'm not sure I particularly want to stick one side of velcro to my cloth grille.

I don't think it was the G50 though.

Ha ha, only scanned the last few comments. Probably not 🤣. Confused myself. On a serious note, I do know someone who experienced drop out's with their Line 6 receiver. I think I'm right in saying that there are two ways to power it? With a USB type cable and a mains cable. I believe the USB type port was at fault. There was no issue when using with the mains cable.

I highly recommend contacting Shure. Thoroughly excellent Customer Support in my experience.

@AndyTravishas a couple of great Stingray 5’s for sale if you’re looking to buy.

Strangely, in my rock covers band we do Mirror in The Bathroom which is great song and there seems to be a bit of a reluctance to play it in this ska band. Not sure why 🤷‍♂️

Very similar. I'm a bit confused as to why my lot don't do Israelites. That would seem to be a ska standard as far as I'm concerned, but I'm far from an expert. Nite Club makes an appearance now and again and I'm a bit sad when it's not in the set because I love playing it. There's a couple in there that I'm not familiar with, so I'm going to go and have a listen 👍.

Yes, it is. They’re a good bunch and I’ve played with a couple of the band in various outfits over the years, so it’s a great atmosphere. Bizarrely there is only one song that crosses over to any of the other bands I’m in, so there has been a bit of homework prior to tonight’s rehearsal. I’m still questioning the wisdom of playing ‘Everything I Own’ at a wedding, but it’s not my band so 🤷‍♂️

Just been given the updated set for my dep gig this Saturday. All the usually suspects are present, but the there have been some additions that require my attention. Great to see Poison Ivy back in, but that means my back up bass will be tuned down a half step. They play it in the key as recorded and their regular bass player plays the low E high, which to my ear sounds odd. The set seems to be getting longer every time I play with these guys, but it makes a nice change compared to the material I usually play.

I haven’t, but I think I’d try Bass Bros if I was trading. I know @molan and others really rate them.

How was my gig last night? Hot. Very hot. I may have melted a bit inside. It's the fourth time I've depped with this rock covers band and I'm kind of getting used to the way things happen. Not had one rehearsal with them as they don't rehearse and new songs keep getting added, but it just seems to work. I suppose it must be what a jam night is like, not that I've ever done one.

I'll send you his details.

Get in touch with @walshy's man with a van. You don't need a case or wrapping as he doesn't just chuck it in the back of his van.

Paul sent me a couple of sets of new strings for free that he'd picked up in a trade. They say you never get something for nothing - well, not so in this case! It gives me great pleasure in recommending @walshy yet again as one of Basschat's finest. Deal with confidence people. He is THE Bass Monkey Extraordinaire!

Bought's Mick's Bravewood Jazz. Super easy transaction and great communications. Buy with confidence from this Basschatter. Thanks again.

I'll give this a watch later when I have more time. Thanks 👍

Mmm. This is a worry for me over a forthcoming build/purchase. I've certainly spent my fair share of cash there over the years, but thinking about it, I've never been faced with any issues with anything I've bought.

This one? They’re ‘the best tribute to Led Zeppelin’.

The least you could do is name the band here so we can all avoid them.
